SAVEAS shows not DIALOG BOX

[cadman1965]

Hi!

Can anyone help me?

I use AutoCAD Electrical 2016 and, even if FILEDIA is set to 1, I still can't get the DIALOG BOX!

i'm afraid that you may need to reset autocad to default settings . >> Click <<

Oops...

And...  what settings will I lose if i do that?
Also, will i need the "original" installation medium or folder?

Merci / thank you

Is SAS a custom command?  If so, that might be your problem.  Try .SAVEAS  Note the period before the command. If that doesn't work the restart, reboot, reset approach might be needed.  If you are using a foreign language version "merci", then add an underscore before each command to test the built-in features, such as _.SAVEAS.  This should be automatically working by using the saveas icon in your CUI.

I do not believe you need to do this, but if you choose to, you will be given the opportunity to save your current settings, and then it will wipe your AutoCAD profile - so that when you restart AutoCAD, it will be like the first time you launched it, under your login.

No, you do not need the install media. It's not modifying anything to do with the software, just your user profile.

The ability to go back and restore the settings saved (mentioned above) is questionable BTW. It may work to some degree.

Hi,

In fact, I have those in my "default" LISP file

(DEFUN c:sas nil (command "saveas"))

(DEFUN c:ss nil (command ".saveas"))

Also,

I think my problems came for the PGP file...  i think i wasn't modifing the good one...  

Thanks to all of you!  🙂

PS:  I'm going to post a more difficult one this afternoon!
